Harper Lee provides a vivid description of life in Maycomb, which is ruled by a strict system of social cues and hierarchy. There is a clear division between those who "belong" to the town, and the "others," which are clearly undesirable to the rest of the population, even when not stated out in the open.
The less desirable people all have traits that do not match the stereotype of a perfect Southern citizen. One way in which this is expressed, perhaps the most relevant one, is racial prejudice. Black people are "others," as they are considered inferior to the rest of the population.
Another example is that of the Radley family. Due to Boo Radley's mental situation, the family is shunned and their interactions with others are very restricted. Gossip and superstition play a big part in their lives, as people exchange stories about the fate of Boo Radley, and he becomes something of an urban legend.
Other stereotypes are also present, such as the idea of black men always going after white women. This stereotype causes an irrational fear among the population which makes it impossible to conduct a fair trial.
Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.” Mr. White dropped his wife's hand, and rising to his feet, gazed with a look of horror at his visitor. His dry lips shaped the words, "How much?" "Two hundred pounds," was the answer. Unconscious of his wife's shriek, the old man smiled faintly, put out his hands like a sightless man, and dropped, a senseless heap, to the floor.
Which word helps reveal the mood of horror in the excerpt?
gazed
shaped
faintly
shriek
Answer:
Shriek
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”, the story of Mr White and his encounter with a seller when he was with his wife is told. Mr. White is said to have dropped his wife's hand and with a horrified look asked for the price and when he was told it was two hundred dollars, his wife shrieked and he became unconscious.
The word that helps reveal the mood of horror in the excerpt is the word "shriek" because it helps show the mood of horror and shock the couple faced.
I believe the answer of this question is ill
Answer:
In this moment, I do feel bored/ scared/ tired/ whatever you are feeling right now.
My greatest fear during this time is that this pandemic will be never-ending and won't slow down and stop spreading any time soon.
My initial reaction to school closing is slight shock, but not that surprised. It hasn't changed. (Your reaction may be different, I'm just giving you an example.)
There are multiple changes that should be made after the quarantine is over. I'm sure you can come up with a few examples, but I'll just give you one for starters. When we go to either restaurants or cafes, there shouldn't be a bunch of tables inside of that restaurant or café. They should reduce the amount of tables and chairs inside each of them to keep their distance.
My friends and or family are responding by ___. ( I don't know who your friends or family are, so this one is completely on you. )
During this time, the most important to me is keeping a safe distance from those who I love and care about while checking up on them when they are available by technology. (That's only one of multiple examples. If this doesn't apply to you, then think of something else.)
This time has/ has not changed me in quite a few ways.
